Duke Divinity alumnus Bishop Connie Shelton shared how Duke Divinity School and she personally has been impacted by The Duke Endowment in the Annual Report. Said Shelton, "In an age when those rural areas are more challenged than ever economically, the Endowment’s support helps our congregations make a critical difference. It is true that many rural United Methodist Church buildings and facilities have been built and birthed across our conference by the support of The Duke Endowment. "But beyond bricks and mortar, the Endowment has partnered with us in so many other ways across the decades. It supports our church transformation ministries, where we equip church leaders to find healthy transformation and thrive in transitions." Read more: https://lnkd.in/g-avxqN8

A message from the dean's office at Duke Divinity School: Our partners in Western North Carolina have named they have sufficient water and food in most areas, but a greater emerging need is blankets and laundry detergent as they support neighbors in cooling temperatures. We invite you to join our efforts to “blanket” our neighbors with love and support. We are collecting new (never used) blankets and laundry detergent pods to send to Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry, led by Duke Divinity alumnus Kevin Bates, M.Div. '15, D.Min. '23. Donations may be taken to the 0011 Westbrook classroom the week of October 14-18. For more information, including how to make a financial donation, please visit our WNC Disaster Relief page: https://lnkd.in/emQNkQ_4

Rev. Dr. Louis Threatt, M.Div. ’11, spoke to the Duke Kenan Institue for Ethics about his work with Project TURN at Duke Divinity, discussing what he has learned and observed through his 15 years of studying, ministering, teaching, and helping others teach inside prisons. Said Threatt, "Inside these walls lies a rawness, an authenticity, and a vast hunger for learning that any professor appreciates. The students in prison…are in class ready and eager to learn. And once they build relationships — with the professor, with each other, and with the Duke students — the ‘turning’ starts to take place. "Students, particularly those inside, become vulnerable and inspired, inspiring the Duke students in turn." https://lnkd.in/e3-nV3Ez
